[net.micro] multiple modems on a micro?

allison@convexs.UUCP (09/22/86)

I've got a question for all you mac-types: how easy is it to get a mac
to work with multiple modems simultaneously?  For example, suppose you
wanted to run a simple bulletin board off of a mac with 4 phone lines.
Since there are only two serial ports, you'd obviously need some hardware
doo-dad that would allow you to connect more than one device to your serial
port.  Does something like this exist?  If so, what is the cost?

The other question is this: is a mac really suited for an application like
this, or would I be better off with something else?  Any input would be
much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!!!
